Title: Method for Reducing the Smell of Garlic
Inventor: NINOMIYA TSUNEHIKO
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 1968-06-21
Abstract: 1,190,156. Reducing the smell of garlic. AJINOMOTO CO. Inc. 21 June, 1968 [24 June, 1967], No. 29866/68. Headings A2B and A2E. [Also in Division A5] The smell of garlic is reduced by contacting with maleic or fumaric acid or a salt thereof. Thus, the garlic may be sprayed with or dipped into a solution of the acid or salt, or it may be smeared or mixed with the acid or salt. Alternatively, the acid or salt may be put up in the form of a tablet containing it, or it may be incorporated in chewing gum.
Patent GB-1414641-A (GB)
Title: Torque converter transmissions
IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1972-06-26
Abstract: 1414641 Hydrodynamic torque converter; shaft couplings SRM HYDROMEKANIK AB 12 Oct 1972 [26 June 1972] 29919/72 Headings F2C F2U and F2W A hydrodynamic torque converter comprises a turbine shaft 6 which is selectively connected to a turbine wheel 30 by a friction clutch 202, 204 for hydraulic drive. As shown, the turbine shaft 6 may be connected to a driving casing 10 by a friction clutch 310, 312 for direct drive. When a control valve 706 is held by springs 716 in its central neutral position, as shown, a pump 702 supplies pressure liquid through a restriction and line 38 to the space between the turbine 30 and a disc 206 splined to the turbine shaft 6. The pressure in said space, which is determined by a low pressure relief valve 709, holds the friction surfaces 202, 204 apart to disengage the turbine shaft 6 from the turbine 30 whilst a spring 302 holds the friction surfaces 310, 312 apart to disengage the turbine shaft 6 from the driving casing 10. Both clutches are thus disengaged and the turbine shaft 6 is not driven. When a manual control valve 712 is moved to the position H it supplies pressure air to a servomotor 720 which moves the valve spool 706 right against the spring bias. In its rightward position the valve 706 supplies pump pressure through a line 36 and ducts 42, 44, 48 to the space between the disc 206 and the casing 10. The pressure in the space holds the disc 206 against a stop 304 and thus maintains the clutch 310, 312 disengaged. Pressure liquid flows between the friction surfaces 310, 312 to the torque converter working circuit. The pressure liquid in the working circuit initially attempts to flow between the friction surfaces 202, 204 and creates a pressure drop between the working circuit and the space between the disc 206 and turbine 30. This pressure difference moves the turbine 30 left to engage the friction surfaces 202, 204 and thus the turbine shaft 6 is driven through the torque converter. A pressure relief valve 210 maintains a predetermined pressure difference between the working circuit and the space between the disc 206 and turbine 30. When the manual control valve 712 is moved to the position D it supplies pressure air to a servomotor 722 which moves the valve 706 left. In its leftward, direct drive, position the valve 706 supplies pressure liquid through the line 38 to the space between the disc 206 and turbine 30. The pressure in the space between the disc 206 and turbine 30 is determined by a high pressure relief valve 710 and acts to move the disc 206 left whereupon the friction clutch 202, 204 is disengaged and the friction clutch 310, 312 is engaged for direct drive to the turbine shaft 6. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the direct drive clutch 310, 312 is omitted. The torque converter casing 10 is resiliently connected to a driving flywheel 530 by axially projecting lugs 532 surrounded by resilient material 534 engaging radial slots in the flywheel.

Class 100(2) A pressure sensitive recording material which can take a coloured impression without the use of an external colouring agent but solely by locally applied pressure is coated on the pressure sensitive side of the material with a thin substantially coherent laver of lacquer. By coating the material, which may be paper. with the lacouer the resistance of the material to accidental smudging is increased. Preferably the lacquer produces an opaque film of coloured, preferably white, appearance and contains a binding agent consisting of a cellulose derivative, e.g. nitrocellulose or acetyl cellulose. In an example the lacquer coating consisted of 30 per cent by weight of a highly viscous acrylic acid ester polymer dissolved in 70 parts by weight of ethyl acetate and the solution was applied so that about 3-6 gms. of solid residue were left per square metre of the material. In a second example the solution was prepared from 15 parts by weight of nitrocellulose, 5 parts by. weight of dibutyl phthalate and 80 parts by weight of ethyl acetate.

Abstract: 420,717. Delivering measured quantities of liquids. ROTA, R., 159, Avenue d'Italie, Paris. Nov. 1, 1933, No. 30358. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, May 5, 1934.] [Class 106 (v)] A measuring can 1 includes a measuring chamber 2 within the can adjacent one side thereof, a discharge spout 4 in this side of the can and a discharge conduit 5 connecting the chamber 2 with the discharge spout, the chamber having an orifice communicating with the can at a level predetermining the quantity of liquid entering the chamber and the can having a flat side immediately opposite to the side containing the discharge spout. To separate a measured quantity of liquid the can is brought to the position shown in Fig. 2, when liquid passes into the measuring chamber through an aperture 3 and air passes into the can through an aperture 7, the height of which determines the level n-n of the liquid in the chamber. An additional air orifice 9, which may be adjustable, facilitates the passage of air to the can. When not in use the can is preferably stood on the flat side opposite the spout 4 so that the volume delivered will not be affected by temperature variations of the air within the can. The measuring unit may be formed by a blank cut-out and bent as shown in Fig. 6. Several measuring chambers may be included in one can. In a modified form the measuring unit is made up from three main members A, B and C, Fig. 13, fastened together at 15, the unit being fastened within the can by solder provided between the wall of the can and the member A forming part of the discharge conduit 5. The measuring chamber 2 is spaced from the wall of the can by the member C and forms a baffle protecting the inlet 3 against a sudden rush of liquid when the can is tilted. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also modifications in which the,measuring chamber 2 and discharge conduit 5 are spaced from the wall of the can 1, Figs. 1 (Cancelled) and 2 (Cancelled), and are formed without air orifices, the air being admitted to the can through a pipe 8 depending directly into the liquid in the can or passing through the discharge conduit and measuring chamber. The level of the free end 7 of the tube 8 determines the level to which liquid rises in the measuring chamber. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 839,178. Knitting-machines. SCOTT & WILLIAMS Inc. Sept. 25, 1958 [Oct. 1, 1957], 30631/58. Class 74 (2). To avoid drop stitches in the heel or toe suture of hosiery produced on a circular machine, movable auxiliary cams 17, 18 are associated with the centre stitch cam 50 of a two feeder machine and are introduced at the commencement of reciprocatory two-feed knitting. As a result, the needles and particularly the leading needles in each direction of reciprocation are prematurely, but only partially, lowered so that the ties of their open latches are just above loops of the previous course. This ensures that the latches of the leading needles do not pass above the yarn as it swings from one corner of the throat plate 560 to the other when the angle of yarn being fed to the needles changes. The effect of the cams 17, 18 is always in relation to the leading feed and to ensure that the needles take the yarn at the following feed whilst that yarn is swinging from one corner of its throat plate to the other, a clearing cam 28, 29 is placed in advance of the following feed but only clears the needles sufficiently such that the tips of their latches are just above the loops of the previous course. The full draw of the needles is completed by the usual centre stitch cam 50 and the stitch cams 360, 361 on either side of it. Specifications 628,526 and 704,843 are referred to.
